    • Recently, Chewbacca actor Peter Mayhew was reportedly signed to return for Star Wars Episode VII.

In an Australian interview, though, he was asked and gave the following answer: "I cannot deny and I cannot confirm either." Thanks to Jedi News.

    Electronic Arts has announced the Creative Director of an upcoming, unannounced Star Wars video game. Her name is Amy Hennig and while that might not ring a bell, she was the primary writer and creative director at Naughty Dog on the first Uncharted game. Head to EA to read more on her appointment. Thanks to Coming Soon.

    Speaking of Star Wars video games, when EA took over that job, lots of games got cancelled. The most famous is Star Wars 1313 but one company, Red Fly Studios, was also developing a game centered on Darth Maul. You can read much more about the game at Game Informer, and here's some test footage from the game.

    Themed to March Madness, StarWars.com ran a tournament to crown the ultimate Star Wars character. Yoda won in 2013 but, this year, Obi-Wan Kenobi took the crown. You can see all the match-ups here, plus We Love Fine did a special shirt to celebrate the occasion.
